AIA Group MDRT Ambassadors 2019 2 MESSAGE FROM JOE CHENG Dear AIA Group MDRT Ambassadors, It gives me great pride to see such a high-quality group of agents and agency leaders as our MDRT ambassadors for the coming year. You have been appointed to be AIA Group MDRT Ambassador for many reasons, but most importantly, you are leading by example, many of you have qualified MDRT for many years, have achieved Life Member status and are passionate to continue qualifying throughout your career as a role model. Your professionalism and commitment are appreciated. Being an ambassador also means you have been noticed for your dedication to fostering an MDRT culture. By influencing others and helping them to be their best-selves, you are making a fundamental difference to the future of AIA. Building MDRT through Premier Agency, Quality Recruitment and High Productivity will enable us to reach even higher levels of success. MDRT is not simply about recognition; it is about professionalism, continuous learning, giving and sharing, building a balance of life; and maintaining a long term and healthy relationship with family, friends and customers. With your commitment and ability, I know that our agency force will be much stronger and more of our agents be able to achieve MDRT, then progress towards COT, TOT or become life member. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for AIA. I wish you all a healthy and successful 2019. Best regards, Joe Cheng CEO of Group Agency Distribution
